well japanese people would probably write it the way you do. urls can't contain anything other than roman alphabet (no kanji or kana) so driftas.com is still driftas.com.

I'd say probably the same goes for driftas as it's not really a word so you can't translate. you could spell it out in katakana though I guess like you do with anglo names and words. someone more confident with their kana (and with a way to type it at work!) will be able to do that.

Hey Richard

thanks for the heads up, i thought we would run into trouble with the translation :(

Be great if we could get it in kanji or katakana, who knows it may not look half bad :happy:

Is "driftas" pronounced like "drifters" or as in "as drift as ......"?

If its the later, ドリフトアズ would probably be more appropriate. Makes f*k all difference though, no normal Aussie can read kana anyway.....

Katakana... there is no Kanji for Drift

滑る　；）　but it isnt a direct translation.

Its more drif-tas, as in drift tas if you know what i mean

ドリフトッタズ　is what i would write...

i wonder why if you know nothing about the language your trying to translate to why you would want it in that langauge? i often wonder about these kinds fo things with people

I also wonder why the japanese language every couple of months takes on board a new english word and it becomes part of their language...

the only reason that has been explained to me is because they think its cool

guess that answers everything.....

      Ball bearing turbos

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist

      Forced Performance Hta Turbos

      By jdniss · Posted

      Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.

      Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.

      Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers
